im assuming you have a dual boot setup using chameleon. this is the reason why i chose to dual boot in a different way. i have both installations in separate HDDs. i have windows setup with IDE then Mac with AHCI. whenever i need to go to a different OS i just go to BIOS and set it up as IDE or AHCI depending on the OS.

if not, try using the kext in the first post again if you havnt yet. maybe setting up a new dsdt would help.


Code:
BIOS:E758_SZ2Z Motherboard:EVGA x58 132-BL-E758-A1 CPU:Intel Core i7 920 @ 4.0 GHz OS:Snow Leopard 10J567:x64 Vanilla Memory:24 GB G.skill DDR3 1333 MHz HDD:10 x 1TB Western Digital Caviar Black Graphics Card:EVGA Geforce GTX480 1536 mb Monitor:Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP Rev. A02 Audio: Onboard

likewise, constantly switching that setting in bios....


On another topic here guys but has anyone been able to get netflix to work with our boards? Maybe there's a mod to the boot plist we can do?

netflix is working for me (I assume you have silverlight installed) the second part to get it to work is make sure your ethernet interface shows as "built in"

that's awesome lol doubt you'll ever need to close a program again...think i may need to wipe and reinstall everything soon...got netflix working but i'm having a shitload of permission problems. Cant even enter "su" in terminal anymore, responds, "su:sorry" ....unable to copy and replace items in any system folders I get "you don't have permission" repair permissions doesn't work either

do you know of any way to transcode digital video (avi, divx, xvid, h264) using GPU?

Long story short if I download a movie and need to transcode it is there a way to do the transcode to h264 using GPU ?

you will need a CUDA enabled GPU, if your not aware of it already. Ive been transcoding/encoding through premiere pro cs5 and it shows significant time changes. I used to transcode videos for about 1-2 hours before. Now it only takes 10 - 15 minutes to transcode with the GTX480. i am not aware of any other programs that utilizes the GPU for transcoding, but im sure Premiere Pro Cs5 uses gpu acceleration for the mercury playback engine and exporting videos. So maybe you could put the (avi, divx, xvid, h264) in the timeline and export the video to whatever format you prefer. I havent tested Adobe Media Encoder CS5, but i think it uses the same programming for export. So maybe you could just use Media Encoder, but im not entirely sure about the GPU accelerated encoding since im always in Premiere Pro.

I have two nvidia 9800 GTX+ which are CUDA compliant but on the nvidia site there is no mention of the drivers supporting them. I'll try it any report back.

Thanks
